A class action lawsuit has been filed against Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals on behalf of people who took the recently recalled Darvocet painkiller, alleging that the drug maker failed to warn about the potential risk of serious and fatal heart problems. 

The Darvocet class action lawsuit was filed by Linda Gallagher in U.S. district court in New Orleans, alleging that the medication caused her to suffer a heart attack. The suit seeks class action status on behalf of other similarly situated former users of Darvocet.

Last month, a Darvon and Darvocet recall was issued after the FDA determined that propoxyphene-based painkillers may increase the risk of potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. The medications were also previously linked to a risk of overdose and suicide. All generic Darvocet and generic Darvon versions of propoxyphene were also recalled.

It is believed that Gallagher’s complaint is the first Darvocet lawsuit or Darvon lawsuit filed in federal court since the recall was issued on November 19.

According to allegations raised in the complaint, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals violated the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by creating a drug that could cause significant harm to users. The lawsuit also charges the company with failing to warn doctors and consumers about the potential side effects of Darvocet and Darvon.

Gallagher, the proposed lead plaintiff, claims to have suffered two heart attacks since being prescribed Darvocet in 2007, and blames her heart problems on the drug. The lawsuit is seeking compensatory damages, medical monitoring fees, court costs and attorney fees for everyone included in the class action.

Darvocet is a popular painkiller that combines the active ingredient in Darvon with acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. Darvon was first introduced in 1957, with propoxyphene designed to relieve mild to moderate post-surgical pain. In recent years, Darvocet has grown to become one of the 25 most commonly prescribed medications, with more than 22 million people receiving the painkiller.

Various groups have been calling for a recall of Darvocet and Darvon for years, with the first petition for the FDA to ban the medications filed in 1978. The prominent consumer group Public Citizen has suggested that Darvon and Darvocet side effects likely resulted in between 1,000 and 2,000 additional deaths in the United States since the time the medication was banned in the U.K. in 2005.

I started taking Darvocet N100 due to back injury at work. I became addicted to it within 6 months. Unfortunately I became addicted to it and found doctors in the Cleveland Ohio area that would prescribe it freely if I complained of a back pain issue. I took 6 per day for 10 years till I sobered up in 1988. I vividly remember going to sleep and hearing a crackling noise in the brain many nights. It’s surprising that I never had any issues with my heart during my abuse of Darvocet nor since I sobered up in ’88. I do believe many of my memory issues today we a direct result of my abuse of Darvocet.

I took Darvocets from on 1986 thru 2005 when they stopped Darvocets and removed them from from the recall. During this time period I had possibly 7 to 8 heart attacks have 2 stents and a percentage of my heart is dead. But November 26 2005 I was took off the Darvocets and I haven’t had another heart attach since.
Glenn
I was prescribed darvocet for years from the VA from 1995 through 2007 off and on for pain. I recently suffered an acute heart attack on 7/24/23 and had two stents put in. was wondering if I had a case.

This is so sad my life fell apart when my husband passed away I still had minor children I just couldn’t let go he was my world from the time I was a teenager I just now find out they recalled the drug after he took this and zantac for omg I know the Darvocet was over 20 years and zantac probably the better part of at least 10 ended up with lung cancer small cell carcinoma part of the lung removed went down from there and of course now taking the Darvocet as well as other pain killers ultimately ended up passing after a very long bout multi system shut down in 2008 but point is these people get away with all kinds of stuff at the cost of families and people’s lives and doesn’t phase them at all then judges actually throw it out what about the patient and the families guess we none matter
Melissa
My mom died on oct 2010. She at that time was taking Darvocet and continually complained to doctors about very slow heart beats she was very concerned. Just leaning down this was taking off the market nov 2010. Very sad he death could have been prevented

I was given Darvocet in the late seventies for back pain and used for many years. Diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse for years. Then rediagnosed in 1998 with Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy. Had to retire in my early 40’s with a medical disability. In October of 2010 had a difibulator/pacemaker implanted. Been in ER three times this year with heart problems. I never heard about this lawsuit until recently.

Eldrick
I took darvocet for years due to the surgeries I have had on my foots from 8 years up to they was called off the market. My heart would be beating so bad and fluttering.

Amine, I hope he will change his mind and get what he can while he’s still alive. My Mother was prescribed Darvocet for pain several years back. She only took them every now and then. She was a picture of health at the age of 92 and had more energy than most younger than 40. She got sick in early 2009 and with that illness she had pain and was told to take that drug again on a regular schedule. She ended up in bed 24/7 her caretaker made sure she was given the drugs daily. She kept complaining about her chest hurting and was told it was acid reflux and was treated for that too. It got to where she was unable to go out to the doctor so we had them (a different doctor) come to the house for treatment. They said she had heart problems along with acid reflux, and continued the drugs along with a few more. I sat by her bedside and watched her pass away October 14, 2011 of CHF. There’s not a day that goes by that my heart breaks of her not here with me. Sure she was old but she was extremely healthy before that drug. The only medicine she had ever taken on a regular basis was for her removed thyroid along with vit. D. I was searching something on the web the other night and saw where there was problems with the drug.. I want to sue but it wont bring my Mom back. But you still have your dad and I’m sure the money will be helpful. God bless you both.
amine
my father in law have been taken the painkiller Darvocet for ten years and had suffered five heart attacks and the last one almost killed him his own doctor told him to seek a lawyer for his suffering but i cant get him to understand that the insurance companies that will pay him not out of his doctor pocket he does not like to sue anyone he thinks its wrong and he is flat broke from all the suffering he went through any advice how to change his mind thanks
Pamela
I am a 52 year old women who has been using Darvocet off and mostly on for about 25years.I have chronic pain for various reasons such as bursitis in my hip which requires injections,back problems due to falls and nursing wear and tear while on the job,and inflammatory and osteo arthritis.this is the only medication I have been able to take without major side affects,such as terrible stomach upset,mouth dryness so that I am unable to speak, drowsiness etc.Why can physicians not prescribe medications more responsibly and thoughtfully so that people like me and others might be able to receive medications that they need?Darvocet has been on the market for over 50 years and should have remained so.
Teri
in 1995 my husband of 20 years died from the use of darvocet. the sad part is that he could still be hear to raise his son who was only 13 when he passed. the manufactures of the drug knew it’s dangers but still kept making & marketing it, now the only justice to be had is the recall of the drug. he only took 1 to many but that was enough to kill him. my heart goes out to all of you that have been harmed. i wish you luck with the lawsuit, the manufactures deserve to pay for their greed. sadly no one will take my case because he died before 2000.
gaynell
i hurt my back in 2005 and i took darvocet for 6 years, then they recalled it, i have alot of pain in my chest and i thought I had galbladder problems but it was fine but the pain is still there some one told me that darvocet has effect the liver and heart and other areas as well I got to go back to the doctor so they can check my liver, i had to start taking blood pressure pills as well could you give me more information on the side effects of darvocet, and a contact number for a attorneyI heard that goldwater was a lawyer handling cases as well i have also had and still do sharpe pains in my head since i have taken the darvocet pain meds, fatigue as well anyway please contact me with more information please I may need a lawyer as well thank you in advance for your help
R.Jane
I am so upset with this stupid law suit as if the other pain killers aren’t as dangerous or more so. As it happens, Darvocet is the only pain medication I can take. I’ve been through Hell trying other pain medications. I have chronic pain that is getting worse as time goes on as is the way of my illness(s). I’ve been hoarding my last Darvocets for my cluster headaches and migraines putting up with my other horrid pain from RSD and Fibromyalgia. If people can’t take Darvocet then they should use another drug, not file a law suit. I’ve been in Hell, as I’ve said since it went off the market and am scared to death when I use the last one.
Sherley

I began taking this medicine approximately 2 years ago, stopped taking it hen it as recalled, and wish I had never heard of it. Nothing is worth losing your health and worrying about leaving your kids, especially when you have an older child with special needs who needs total care. Never mind what will I do ithout darvocet, my question is what will they do without me????????????????????????
George
I was on this for a torn rotator cuff, prior to surgery I had a sever heart attack and ended up with a Defib and Pacemaker.
Joel
My mother took darvocet regularly for years. She was hospitalized and receiving tratment for vascular problems in her legs. She was scheduled to return home after her recovery but died the night before she was to be dicharged. No one could explain the sudden heart attack. Her death never made sense to us, she had appeared very healthy just hours before.
Kenneth
My wife was given Darvocet back in 1998 for her chronic pain syndrome. Admittingly, she was taking more than the prescribed amount. Sometimes she was taking 12 pills per day. At the same time, she was always having heart issues (arrythmias and tachycardia) and we were seeing a cardiologist for this. He always attributed the heart issues to a panic disorder, and gave her valium. In 1999 she became pregnant and the doctor told us that it was very safe to continue using Darvocet throughout the pregnancy, which she did. In retrospect, now knowing the dangers of this medicine, I would have not listened to the doctor and I would have made sure she was not on it. My daughter was born with health issues, which is a different subject. She stayed on the medicine for about another year, when her doctors decided that she should be on Oxycontin instead. Long story short, since the 3 or so years of her taking Darvocet, she has continuously suffered from tachycardia and very irregular heartbeats. These episodes are continuing today. It is chronic. Does anyone think she should be part of the class action suit?
Vanessa
I took Darvocet for lumbar back pain from about 2007 to 2009. I frequently experienced shortness of breath and heart palpitations. During that period I went to the ER at least 5 times with ailments ranging from shortness to breath, to numbness in my right arm/hand/shoulder. Could these things be caused by the medication?
Vonne
I had used Darvocet for the past 10 years for osteoarthritis. I have experienced chest pain in the past. I am now concerned about the effects of Darvon and what can I expect in the future concerning any adverse health issues.
George
I started taking darvon for back injury in Viet Nam in 1966. And continued to get it from a physian after I got out of the service and continued its use up until 1999 for frequent back pain. When that doctor gave me an ekg, in the middle 80’s he ask when I had a heart attack after reveiwing the ekg. Do this qualitify to be in the class action suit.
Nancy

I am 39 and started takink Darvocet in college due to football injuries. Have been prescibed Darvocet many times. In 95 I started having heart problems and was hospitalizes 4 times due to atrial fribulation. Heart would exceed 229 bpm. Spent a lot of time in and out of hbospital enduring many heart test. Eventually leading to an unsuccessful abaliton surgery in 08. There is no history of atrial fribulatio or any other heart problems in a very large family. This condition has changed my life dramatically.

It is a shame that even the loss of life due to being poisoned unnecessarily by a pharmaceutical company has no meaning to some people. I am a 52 year old female and apparently I was not in the know about this darvocet side effect when I was taking it in 2003 and 2004; when after taking it for 2 months, I started getting a racing heart. I was hooked up for 30 days on a cardio monitor and had heartbeats of over 200, and 4 to 6 beat v-tach incidents. Tried several different heart medications, toprol, the beta-blocker, being one of them, which put me in the hospital with more v-tach incidents and with a doctor’s warning that it was his medical opinion that I should not check out of the hospital and be transported to another hospital where I could see a specialist in electrical studies of the heart. The end result here is I went and had a cardiac ablation that almost killed me due to bleeding out after it was over. And now it is possible that all my months of suffering on different medications, toprol being the worse, and an unnecessary surgery to my heart could havr been due to darvocet? And the fact that the pharmaceutical company knew there could be a problem and still let me take it??? And the number of people who may have died is only stated at 2,000 in the report on this website. I think it is many more and it is reprehensible that the pharmaceutical company can get away with this. When I read the comments posted here, I cannot believe how similar the stories are to mine. There is no way it is just a coincidence. Un********believable.
toni
i was prescribed darvocet multiple times, once for a neck injury and refills for carpel tunnel pain. i took over the course of about a year. i have recently been seen by my doctor for chest pain and trouble breathing. she attributed it to a rapid hearbeat and put me a medication to correct that and my heart palpitations. i am the only one in my family who has a rapid heartbeat?
ferrell
I had an accident in 1998.In approx 1999 I was prescribed Darvocet. I was diagnosed with heart palpitations. prior to 1999 I had no problems with my heart .THe doctor treated me for thyroids and my heart continued to race and I could hear my own heartbeat. This caused damage to my heart muscles and shortness of breath. During anECG the scar tissue was detected. I do not have a family history of heart or thyroid problems. my mother was amazed that I am the only person in the family to have such problems
Rachael
I have been presribed Darvocet off and on for migraines, post- surgery, and various other situations over the last 15 years. In the last 3 to 5 years I have been to four different doctors, one cardiologist, and two different ERs several times. I have mitral valve regurgitation, a tricuspid murmur, irregular heartbeat, unexplained dizziness, fainting spells and more. There is no history of heart problems in my family. The doctors have been unable to explain how or why I have been so sick for so long, and one even went so far as to suggest I might be a bit of a hypochondriac. I had no idea so many other people were having similar issues. While I understand the opinion of the lucky ones who haven’t had problems because of Darvocet or related medications, I personally agree with the recall.
kerry
hurt my back in 1994 prescribed darvocet.heart attack in may 95 got stents,heart attack october 96 open heart. still on darvocet heart attack jan2009 got more stents heart attack feb2009 got pacemaker still on darvocet nov2010 told darvocet was bad for my heart
Mindy
I have an idiopathic heart condition that is reflected in in creased heart rate that can cause me to lose conscioiusness. I took DArvocet for pain after being ill with a kidney infection, and at other times during my mid to late teen years for sport related injuries. I simply want to be part of the class action suit as there have been no legitimate causes for my heart condition. This explains a great deal.
mary
I have been taking Darvocet for the past 15 years due to cronic venous insufficency of my leg. It worked great for me but I few years ago I developed a heart murmur. Since then I have had to have stress tests and then a heart cath. I could feel a funny sensation in my chest which my Doctor told me was an extra beat in my heart.
Trudy
I have took Darvocet for pre- and post back pain, for the past couple of years , I have had breathing problems, and loss of memory and my leg goes numb and m y toes/feet, and I have night swets and can’t sleep, and I get dizzy and feel nauseated ans sick to my stomach also get head aches. my heart beats irregular since i have took this medication
Alice
I took Darvacet N100 for about 10 years for chronic pain following surgery at L5/S1. I now have left bundle branch block difficulties and occasional irregular heart beats.
Brenda
I have been on Darvocet since the late 1980s. I have had NO problems with it. This has acetominophin-same as Tylenol. What about the people that are on Tylenol w/Codeine-are they going to yank that from the meidicines that a person can take. Even the Vicodin that my MD put me on had acetominophin in it-are they going to yank that to? I know that the vicodin is stronger than the Darvocet, but it doesn’t kill the pain like the Darvocet. I WANT THE DARVOCET BACK!!!!!!!!!
Anne
I was prescribed Darvocet for pain after the births of each of my 5 sons.Out of the blue,I began having an irregular heartbeat. I had the 24hr Holter monitor,had a few EKGs & have had 2 echocardiograms done. It was determined that I have PACs-Premature Atrial Contractions,which I was told are not life threatening. No explanation for the sudden onset was ever given. I keep Atenolol in my purse to take for it as needed.
Jennifer
After shattering 3 vertebrae in a fall in 2004, the Doc intalled hardware and fused 2 portions of my back. I was greatful for Darvocet, taking 2 or 3 a day for several month then backing off over time to only when in really severe pain. It has been my chosen pain reliever. Over the past few years I have started having severe palpitations, for hours, to the point I hoped I would just die (normally, I am FAR from suicidal). I let my Doc know and he prescribed an anxiety medication for when it happened again. It did help. If it is this medication is causing this I would like more information. Please keep me informed.
Melissa
My Father passed away April 2006. He injured his back in Vietnam in the 60’s. He used Darvocet for years on and off. Out of the blue he suffered a massive heart attack at age 48. Two open heart surgeries, a pacemaker, many angeo-plasties. He was so tired and his health went so quickly. The doctors continued to prescribe Darvocet. Not knowing, he took it because he was in pain, could not sleep, and lived in fear that he was going to die. He died slowly before our eyes. He also complained about neck pain, just like Sue. I hope the word spread quickly about this. I know the pain my family has suffered.
John
I had a heart attack in 2000 since then I have been taking generic Darvecet for arthritis and back pain. In 2007 I was told that I have a irreregular heart beat and was also told that I had something called AFIB. I had what was called a heart ablation to repair the problem. Since then I have still been taking Darvacet untill it was taken off the shelves. I am not sure if this has caused any of my problems.
brenda
i am so up set ,i am a 61 year old woman with 3 cervical bone fusion in my neck.i had been takeing darvocet since 1995 ever day,i live in chronic pain,after trying pain pill after pain pill,15years ago my dr.put me on darvocet ibeen takeing it ever day for15 years,i dont know what i am going to do,my dr. is trying me on other medication but nothing helps.my dr. wants me to have surgery again,but one surgery leads to another surgery,all i need is my darvocet back,can any one help?i dont see how this is possible,this is hard on people that has been on darvocet 15 years.
Terry
My doctor prescribed darvocet for knee pain prior to and after knee surgery for a on year period. I began retaining fluid. After being placed on a diuretic booster and a diuretic, I lost 39 lbs of fluid in one week. I was also sent to have an eco-cardiogram for irregular heart beat. My doctor left me on darvocet until 10/31/10 when I broke my right arm and my orthopedic doctor took me off the medication and gave me a different medication. Since I have stopped taking the darvocet, my heart palpatations have decreased and I have been retainly less fluid. Unfortunately for me, because I did not have to receive the services of a cardioligist, I will not qualify for the suit. However, I incurred over $5,000 in lab fees, doctor visits and electocardiograms.

My mother died recently at 53 years of age while on vacation. She got out of the pool and was having difficulty breathing. Within minutes, her breathing and heart stopped. My dad administered cpr and called paramedics, but when they arrived and resuscitated her, her brain hhad went without oxygen for too long to survive. She passed away 10 days later. She had lupus, fibromyalgia (which is why she was prescribed Darvocet), but no health problems that were life threatening. She had recently had an annual checkup which found her to be in better health than she had been in years. The neurologist and heart doctor could find no cause for her sudden death. Her heart and lungs seemed to be strong after the attack, her brain just suffered an anoxic injury due to the unexplained heart and pulmonary failure. Her attack happened 3 weeks prior to this drug being banned. I wonder if it had been pulled sooner, maybe my mother would still be alive. My father has filed for the class action suit, he does not feel up to dealing with an individual wrongful death suit so soon after her passing. I saw a commercial recently regarding the effects of the drug and got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, so I called my dad and had him research it. I simply cannot understand how our government could allow a company to profit from a drug for so long that was determined to be dangerous. It was banned in Europe over 5 years ago. My youngest daughter was 3 weeks old when my mother left for vacation. She will never have the opportunity to know how much her Gammy loved and adored her firsthand, possibly because of a pill that she thought was helping her.

For those of you who have to find another painkiller now… If you’re like me, you took Darvcet because the other painkillers hurt your stomach and had bad side affects: Ask your doctor about taking methadone for pain relief. Most people don’t consider Methadone because they assume it’s only used to treat Heroin addicts. Not true. I have been taking Methdone since 2001 and am very happy with it. Good luck fellow chronic pain sufferers and hand in there.
Corey
For those of you who take medications because of suffering long-term chronic pain – Darvocet is a very bad choice as the Ibuprophen can harm your liver and kidneys over time, or in large doses. Many doctor’s (like my old doctor) will prescribe meds and never even think to warn you of the health risks. SO PLEASE ask questions about what you put into your body! I suffer chronic pain after 3 back surgeries and now take Methadone 10mg for the pain. (In My Opinion) 1. It’s a milder drug than Oxycodone, Fentynal and Hydrocodone. 2. It’s effective in small doses. 3. Has little side affects. 4. Doesn’t tac your body like some other painkillers. Also, look into pain pumps and patches as an alternative to pills. – Go online and research the drugs you take. Don’t assume your doctor knows everything!

AFter being on Davacet for a year due to a motor vehilce accident, I can absolutly beleive that this drug can cause a heart attack. Afer taking the medication, my heart used to race, I had troble breathing, I used to have panic attacks. I didn’t realze it was that medication until I stoped it. My question to everyone is that I think it affected my vision. I have an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and in that year, my vision has become so bad. Everone around me has commented on how bad I had gotten in a year time. I have suffered this disease my whole life, but the changes in just one year were astounding. I feel that it is due to this medication, because no other medications have been hanged or introduced except Darvaet. Any comments from anyone?
gilbert
I have been on darvacet 15 or more years and have severe atrial fib which can’t be rectified
